I'm going to
Tear your fuckin' eyes out,
Rip your fuckin' flesh off,
Beat you 'till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass,
Fuck you and your progress,
Watch me fucking regress,
You were made to take the fall,
Now you're nothing!!

Right for those who seem to be confused:
This site is a voluntary site for those who want to show solidarity to what is a feminist cause.

Based on the varying factors that go with pornography - women debasement, exploitation of disadvantaged people (esp. women) - it asks people to reject porn and to only have partners who agree to the same.

The site clearly states if you don't want to, or don't feel able to commit, don't.

The logic behind not having a partner who uses pornography is so that you can accept their lifestyle. This is important when this is an issue that you consider significant because of the sexism/oppression involved. It's a bit like refusing to go out with someone who's homophobic because you believe in equality of sexuality.

My problems with it:

I would not explicitly reject someone over something as culturally popular as porn. I don't know another man who's not interested in it and I know many women that like it too. It's an issue I would discuss with a partner (though not my friends as I know how unreachable they would be over this issue) but I would not turn them down for it.

Apparently, their is porn that is positive to women. I only discovered this a few days ago. That is an interesting development that complicates the issue.

At the end of the day, the most significant thing is that they oppose legislation banning porn. This group are happy to have you choose, they just hope you'd choose one side over the other.

Retract your knee-jerks, please.

There's an unseen fortune under their belts
Are golden temples a symbol of God's way
This horde of wealth is a sickening display"
